Hi all, if Im shooting outdoors on a fairly bright day at 25fps 1080p (using the 180 degree shutter rule) at f1.8 - f1.4 how can I eliminate blowing it out and over exposing the entire image. Am I right in thinking that the best and easiest way is to grab some ND filters?
 
I have needed two ND-4 filters to get to f2.8, 1/60th sutter, 1080-30p in normal mid day sun on my T3i. If on white concrete, snow or sand I'd need three. For your setup you'll need another ND-4 to get to f1.8 at least.

It's at least a starting point for you to confirm your calculations.

Cheers,
Pete
 
... and sorry to miss the original question, but yes ND filters are the solution to use you fast glass in broad daylight :)

Thats exactly what I thought, thanks for the confirmation!
Any tips for good ND filters?
